I don't know. Honestly it's so weird.

In Into Darkness, Spock freaking cries for Kirk and starts screaming when he dies and says, when Kirk asks him how he chooses not to feel, "I do not know. Right now I am failing." And this occurs after he told Uhura -- "You mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring, while I assure you the truth is precisely the opposite."

They've just written the Kirk and Spock relationship as confrontational rather than supportive and in Into Darkness they seem to be trying to show them as realizing that, despite their differences, they do care about one another. Whether it ends up working is up to you…

Though I do remember RedLetterMedia saying that the first reboot film had a case of the "not gays" with its obsessive need to prove that the men were NOT GAY. Having McCoy mention an ex-wife. Having Scotty make a boob joke about "ample nacelles." Showing Kirk sleeping with women. And giving Spock a relationship with Uhura.

Maybe? I don't know.

I just think the writers are horridly incompetent for the most part and any good things are basically by accident or a result of the actors or by using TOS as a blueprint (since TOS had MUCH better writers).
